A concert in Manchester came to an abrupt end after the band members started fighting on stage.
Footage shared online appears to show one member of The View kicking another members' microphone stand.
The other member then takes off his guitar, slams it to the ground before punching and kicking his fellow bandmate several times.
The fight ended with the pair being broken up and the musicians walking off stage before the scheduled end of the concert, which took place at the Deaf Institute, Manchester.

The View getting back together and recording a new album only to implode on the third night of their UK tour is some laugh. Glad I saw them in December because they’re surely finished now 🫠
